Math Problem Statement
Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9 over 2 and −7 over 2.
Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9/2 and -7/2.
Solution
To plot the points and on the number line:
-
Convert to decimal form:
-
Locate the points:
- The point should be placed halfway between 4 and 5 on the number line.
- The point should be placed halfway between -3 and -4.
By marking these points at 4.5 and -3.5 on the number line, you'll have the correct locations for and .
